Strawberry Perl is a binary distribution of Perl for the Windows operating system.
It includes a bundled compiler and pre-installed modules that offer the ability to install XS CPAN modules directly from CPAN.

The purpose of the Strawberry Perl series is to provide a practical Win32 Perl environment for experienced Perl developers to experiment with and test the installation of various CPAN modules under Win32 conditions,
and to provide a useful platform for doing real work.
